Journals generally state their peer-reviewed status in the editorial section of the journal issue.

However, in the online world, this information may be hard to find. If you are searching for articles in CINAHL or PsycINFO, there is a way that you can limit your results to peer-reviewed journals only. Simply check the box next to Peer-Reviewed in the Limits section of the main search screen.
